The ABC has outlived its usefulness , was originally conceived to provide news and programs for ALL of Australia and especially for rural communities . The latest funding cuts saw it reduce its coverage of the rural areas and increase its production? arm in Sydney.
SBS and the ABC should be amalgamated under SBS mandate and management and synergised . At present its just a sheltered workshop for commie journos. Do you think the likes of tony jones would be employable elsewhere?
With the extent of media coverage these days ABC is not needed to inform the populace ..better value for taxpayer buck elsewhere...
Governments should not be in commercial or quasi commercial arenas ...amalgamate the ABC and SBS and flog it off.....
